After you sever ties, it's no use crying and regretting it.

Chapter 5 Helpless

Yuan Daniu glanced at Lü Xinyan resting in the dilapidated temple again, frowned slightly, and then subtly glanced in another direction.

However, when Yuan Daniu looked at Yuan Erniu again, he had that same impatient and lewd look on his face.

Seeing that Yuan Erniu was still hesitating, Yuan Daniu revealed a wicked smile and continued, "Second brother, don't you really want to go and have a taste?"

“Even if you and I don’t go, someone else will do it. In that case, that country girl will only suffer more and more, and she won’t be able to survive either.”

"If we deal with her here, she might suffer less."

"Since you can't bear to do it, then I'll go ahead and lead the way. You just watch."

After saying this, Yuan Daniu pushed away the conflicted Yuan Erniu, shook his head, and said, "Alright, you stay here and watch, I'll go over first."

No longer looking at Yuan Erniu, Yuan Daniu continued walking into the dilapidated temple.

As for Yuan Erniu, he was still very uneasy and reluctant to stop Yuan Daniu. However, after thinking about it, he realized that since the young lady had decided to target the Lü family and Lü Xinyan, then no one in the Lü family, including Lü Xinyan, would escape!

Although the eldest young lady has only just returned to the Yuan family, she has actually been in frequent contact with them for a long time. The Yuan family members all dote on the eldest young lady and only use Lü Xinyan.

Now that Lü Xinyan has been used up and has no more value, it's time to discard her and completely destroy her, preventing her from revealing the Yuan family's secrets.

Even if an agreement is reached with the Lü family to send Lü Xinyan back, Lü Xinyan, along with the Lü family, has already been targeted and schemed against, making it difficult for them to survive.

Thinking of all this, Yuan Erniu half-raised his hand and then helplessly withdrew it. His lips trembled, and he lowered his head without saying anything more. Instead, he turned around, walked to the stone in front of him, sat down, and covered his ears, hoping not to hear anything he didn't want to hear.

At this moment, the assassin, Yuan Erniu, believed that if he didn't look at those tragedies, he wouldn't be considered a perpetrator, and he should be able to live with his conscience.

Although he was still uneasy, Yuan Erniu knew very well that if they didn't do these things, the young lady would not let them off the hook!

Yuan Erniu would never allow his entire family to suffer for the sake of Lü Xinyan.

He is still selfish and cowardly!

With a mocking smirk, Yuan Erniu sighed softly and covered his ears even tighter.

Yuan Daniu, who had already entered the dilapidated temple, glanced back at Yuan Erniu, who had turned around and walked behind the stone, and simply shook his head.

Although they are brothers, their personalities are too different. He can handle some things himself, and there is no need to let his foolish younger brother get involved in sins.

After glancing at a certain spot, Yuan Daniu shook his head again and continued walking towards Lü Xinyan.

When Yuan Daniu walked up to Lü Xinyan, looking at her who seemed to be sleeping soundly from exhaustion, his hands trembled slightly, he swallowed hard, and his eyes were full of conflict.

It concerned whether they could complete the task assigned by the young lady, whether he could do other things under the noses of the people keeping watch, and even more so, the lives of his entire family. Yuan Daniu was in a difficult position to make a decision.

Of course, he also couldn't bring himself to do something so abusive.

After hesitating for a moment, Yuan Daniu looked at Lü Xinyan, who was still fast asleep and seemingly unaware of the danger, and sighed. He withdrew his hand and muttered to himself, "Sigh, why can't you be the real eldest daughter of the Yuan family, and instead be someone who has been schemed against?"

"Given your background and experience, it's really hard for you to escape this ordeal."

“The Yuan family is actually quite different now. After contacting the main family, they have gained their favor. Sacrificing you would put them at ease. You really have little chance of survival.”

With another deep sigh, Yuan Daniu turned to look at the outside of the dilapidated temple, then back at Lü Xinyan, and continued, "Enough, enough. You've always treated us servants well and even helped us before. I don't want to hurt you."

"But your current identity has been abandoned by the Yuan family, and the eldest young lady wants to destroy you. We can't disobey her orders. What should we do?"

"How about I leave you here, do some disguise, and you jump out of the front window? You might have a chance of survival if you fall into the water."

“The young lady doesn’t trust us two brothers, and she doesn’t trust you either. She’s arranged for other people to keep watch here in advance. Even if we don’t make a move, they will come out and kill you.”

"If they find out I let you go, the consequences will be dire, and I can't afford it."

This reality gave Yuan Daniu even more headaches.

He wanted to let Lü Xinyan go and allow her to jump out of the window to escape, but he was also worried about the people watching her and feared that they would be implicated.

If it only implicates him, that's fine. He can't go against his conscience and do things that would harm Lü Xinyan. He can let Lü Xinyan go, but if it affects his family, he can't afford to gamble.

With his brows furrowed, Yuan Daniu continued, "I don't want to put my family in danger. If I release you directly, Miss will definitely not let me and my family go."

"What should we do? Why don't you wake up quickly, jump out of the window or into the water and escape? Go into hiding and never let the Yuan family see you again. That should work, right?"

"Wait a minute, I'll help you with some disguise. Just pretend that you were violated and that you jumped out of the window yourself. Just pretend that you couldn't take the blow and jumped into the river. As for whether you can survive after falling into the water, that's up to you."

After saying all this, Yuan Daniu still sighed helplessly, feeling that the young lady was too ruthless and vicious.

Just then, Yuan Daniu spotted a large, slow-moving rat in the corner. He grabbed it, slashed it open, and planned to let the rat's blood drip onto Lü Xinyan's dress to create some disguise. He also wanted to wake Lü Xinyan up so they could discuss their escape plan.

However, at this moment, Lü Xinyan suddenly opened her eyes and stared intently at Yuan Daniu, startling him so much that he almost dropped the rat in his hand.
